They never sold that for $1 a bottle at my local corner stores. In all seriousness, a lot major alcoholism - street drinking in fact - in my old hoods.It was pretty depressing.

Street drinking in Brooklyn? In the Rudi and post Rudi era?

Not saying it didn't happen Columbia, but I'm surprised. The NYPD is extremely zealous about enforcing the "open container" laws.

I'm talking about people passed out on the sidewalk or on the steps leading down to the G train....And they weren't homeless people.Greenpoint....the garden spot of NYC. (I was glad to go upscale and move to Woodside.)

Just ate at church brew works for lunch....i think a pumpkin brew is in the works over there, as there were some cooked up pumpkins discarded out back, and a bunch of the brewers were hanging out back there.

But, they also had a pumpkin soup today for special, so the pumpkins might have been related to that.

Hough’s in Greenfield (http://houghspgh.com/)also has Pumking on tap, and they will do growlers of anything. (The online list isn’t up to date, but they had it as of Monday). This place fairly recently renovated to turn itself into a serious beer bar.
